Wien, Österreich - on April 21st and 22nd, 2025, the events took place in Vienna under the motto "Because your voice doesn't care". The aim of this initiative is to set a clear sign of democracy and inclusion. The focus is particularly on the upcoming Vienna municipal council and state election on April 27, in which over 610,000 Viennese have no right to vote- more than any third person in the election age is affected. This Situation makes the educational work and the efforts all the more important.

In order to raise awareness of political participation, five sausage stalls in Vienna were converted into pollen. These stands should not only be the places of culinary enjoyment, but also offer meeting points for social exchange and political discussions. Rene Kachlir, the chairman of the Viennese sausages, emphasizes the openness of the stands. According to Patrick Tondl, the Vice Obmann, the tradition of inclusion at the sausage stands plays a central role. The initiative is also supported by well -known personalities, including Jugo ürdens and Manuel Rubey, who are for more political participation.

choice and inclusion

As part of the symbolic choice on the participating stands, voting boards and election cards were used. The results of this "Pass no matter choice" were counted after the election was completed. Michael Lanner supported the initiative with his snacks, and the cooperation with SOS Mismensch, which has been organizing "Pass no matter elections" since 2013, was an important basis. Support also received support from students of the master class of graphic, film production Frames Network as well as the Gerin and Communication expert Ina Lins.

challenges of political education

Particular attention is paid to the challenges of political education. Many people, especially from certain social groups, are often affected by exclusion and experience restrictions on their political participation. Political education should therefore not only promote plurality and respect for the dignity of all people, but also aim to ensure that the exclusion of people affected can better interfere.

The importance of the events around the sausage stalls shows how important it is to create spaces where political participation can be experienced. This underlines the goal of inclusive political education, which aims to improve access to political processes for everyone, in the sense of a lively and diverse democracy.
